Seems a bit pedantic here.
But partisan political agendas like in CA and TX are clearly not the same as a neutral political agenda.
I think most people here understood political agenda as partisan term here.
- giraffe_lady 4y agoWhat I'm workings towards is that that just isn't a useful distinction. You can't form any kind of useful framework for evaluation or action out of "political and therefor bad" vs "non-political and therefor good." Some of these things are bad because they are bad, and you have to take a side opposing them on those grounds rather than invent these justifications that allow keeping your neutral purity intact.
- stuckinhell 4y agoThe problem is without shared values, you can't define "bad" at a national level. Both sides believe they are on the "right side of history", that's the problem here. The "greater good" is "political" in nature, but it's not something that's hyper-partisan like what we seeing occur in the nation. We need a minimum set of neutral rules in nation with a very very wide variety of beliefs to maintain our technological nation. You can and should think of the greater good in terms of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs at population level. If you don't have food to eat and energy to keep you warm, self actualization or individuality really don't matter.
